Mistletoe Magic

Spending
a quiet Christmas housesitting and reading novels about hot cowboys sounds
perfect to Caitlin Butler. Until a stray kitten brings her face-to-face with
Noah, her crush from college. Watching the handsome vet in action melts
Caitlin's heart and brings back long forgotten emotion. She would be safer back
at the house lost in the pages of a book. But a toe-curling mistletoe kiss tempts
her to stay. Maybe she won't be spending this Christmas... alone.

Veterinarian
Noah Sullivan isn't a Scrooge, but the Christmas Eve tradition of hanging
mistletoe in the clinic's waiting room annoys him. Kissing doesn't belong at
the Copper Mountain Animal Hospital. Noah rethinks his position when Caitlin
arrives with a stray kitten she found freezing in the snow. All he wants now is
to maneuver the pretty preschool teacher under the mistletoe. If he's not
careful, he'll wind up on Santa's naughty list.

Kiss Me, Cowboy

She
didn’t mean to kiss him…

When
dude ranch wrangler Charlotte – aka Charlie – Randall kisses Zack Harris in an
act of empathy, she falls hat over spurs for the handsome military veteran
turned cowboy. Zack has too many demons, however, and refuses to get involved.
A year later, he's still stonewalling, and Charlie needs to move on with her
life so she can find a fulfilling relationship, not frustrating unrequited
love. Putting distance between them seems the best way to get Zack out of her
head and heart...but that means quitting the job she loves and accepting a
position in Colorado.

He
didn’t mean to kiss her back…

Growing
up, Zack longed for a real family, and had one with his squad while deployed in
Afghanistan. Now, he's back in the States and doesn't want anything messing up
his new ranch family, no matter how much he's attracted to the sexy,
hard-working Charlie. She could break his heart and ruin the comfortable
working relationship they and the other wranglers enjoy. Besides, her friends
claim she's looking for the perfect guy, and perfect he's not.

A
kiss is just a kiss…or is it?

When
Zack learns Charlie's thinking about leaving the ranch, he decides to find her
a boyfriend — someone so good, so perfect, she has a reason to stay in Montana.
Until he realizes too late that the only cowboy he wants her kissing is him.
Can he commit to love and convince Charlie not to leave? Or has she made up her
mind to put the past, and the kiss that started it all, behind her and move on without
him?

Mistletoe Wedding

Longer:
Event planner at the Bar V5 Dude Ranch, Meg Redstone is dreaming of a white
Christmas with twinkling lights, sparkly decorations and strategically placed
mistletoe. She loves making dreams come true for others, whether planning a
holiday wedding or giving her young daughter the best Christmas ever.

Ranch
foreman Tyler Murphy loves the holidays, but his newest employee has taken over
his barn with her over-the-top decorations. He admires Meg’s desire to give her
daughter the perfect Christmas while planning a winter wonderland wedding, but
he wants to show her that a Montana Christmas is more than glitter and lights.

After
raising his younger sister, an instant family is not on Ty's Christmas wish
list. But he finds himself falling hard for the single mom and her little girl.
Meg, however, is not interested in a romance with a cowboy like Ty, or any man.
Getting her under the mistletoe is going to take a Christmas miracle . . . or a
little help from Santa.

EXCERPT

MISTLETOE MAGIC

The clinic’s front door opened.

A woman in a puffy powder blue down coat entered. Her hat
pushed long strands of brown hair over her face. She carried something bundled
in a black and white checked fleece blanket. “Please help me.”

The crack in her voice and pale complexion sent him into
action. Two long strides, he was at her side. “I’m Noah. A vet.”

Worried green eyes met his. Familiar eyes, except these weren’t
as young and innocent as the ones he remembered. These eyes were wary and
concerned. But they still reminded him of that girl he’d just thought about,
the freshman with cute freckles and twinkling jade-green eyes.

Her gaze widened with recognition. “Noah. It’s you.”

His heart crashed against his chest. His world tilted.

“Caitlin.” His arm reached forward, as if touching her would
assure him this —she—was real. That of all the vet clinics in Montana, she’d
walked into this one. “I can’t believe it.”

“Me, either.” She gave her head a shake, then lifted the
blanket toward him. “I found a kitten in the snow. Something’s wrong with him.
Or her. I don’t know which. Can you help?”

Noah remembered where he was, what he was. He took the
bundle, ignoring the million questions racing through his mind. Talking could
wait.
